MURFREESBORO — High
school students from across Tennessee and other states are invited to attend
the Summer Preview Day, which will be held from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, June
7, in the Student Union on the Middle Tennessee State University campus.

More than 700 visitors —prospective students and their
parents and family members — have registered to attend the preview day, said
Rob Patterson, assistant director of undergraduate recruitment.

It
will be the final prospective student event MTSU will host until the fall
semester begins. To register, visit http://www.mtsu.edu/how-to-apply/
or http://www.mtsu.edu/schedule-a-visit/special-events.php
online.

Patterson and Melinda Thomas, director of undergraduate
recruitment, said the admissions plan is to target rising seniors and
underclassmen, to get them to think about the next stage in their academic
careers.

Unlike the March Spring Preview Day, which had a major focus
on the science areas because of the new $147 million Science Building being
built, the June 7 preview day will feature the traditional schedule of events,
Patterson said.

The preview day schedule:

• 8 to 8:50 a.m. — Check-in and academic browsing;

• 9 a.m. — Welcome;

• 9:30 to 10:15 a.m. — Academic Session 1 with eight
colleges from within the university and Education Abroad;

• 10:30 to 11:15 a.m. — Academic Session 2 with eight
colleges within the university and Education Abroad; and
